Superbowl was a joke...not even an interesting game. I personally voted for Gannon as MVP...since he was responsible for giving the ball to the Bucks 4 times, including that game ending pass that nailed the coffin shut. It's a damn shame.
I'm still unemployed and if I don't get something soon I will be showing too much and the chances of me getting hired get slimmer and slimmer. Unemployment has kicked in so I've got $$ coming in, but I'm still waiting to hear from the state on reimbursing me for Cobra. I had wanted to hear before I wrote the giant check, but no such luck. I guess I gotta have it, so pay up I shall. My mother is up my ass cuz I've rescheduled the ultrasound appt with my doctor and she thinks I'm nuts to be waiting. She just wants to know what the baby is. We will be finding out, and now the general concensus is that it's a boy. We shall see. I will let you all know here, via the wonders of inviso text, once I get around to having them check under my hood, so to speak.
I am trying so hard to fight the sloth that threatens to suck me into it's depths and actually get some stuff done. I'm sitting in our office, which is a stye, looking around and knowing that it's gotta be moved into the guest room so that we can get going on the nursery in here. I've got some great ideas that will be so cute!!! Figuring that I'm 4 1/2 months pregnant now, that leaves 4 1/2 months to get it finished. And figuring that I'll be relatively useless for the last month or so (maybe not, but how miserable will I be when I look/feel like I've eated a beachball?) and that leaves us 3 1/2 months to get the nursery done. Oh, and to remodel the bathroom cuz we need a new tub and the plumbing in there is in crisis. I want to start these major projects NOW rather then later but Blixx seems so reluctant. I know he's worried about money...I am too, but we've got savings and these things need to get done! I'm up here looking for work, health insurance and other money saving options (didja know that you can defer your student loan payments when you are unemployed? That's$$ saved!!) while he's sitting downstairs in the messy livingroom watching crap on TV, wondering what I'm doing.
Yikes, that almost started to turn into a major bitch about my husband thing. I think I'll go talk with him directly about my frustrations, rather than bore you all here.

There's a lot about pregnancy that they don't tell you. I'm not sure who They are, but damn it SOMEONE should warn a girl. I'm in process of writing a sort of What Your Girlfriends Failed to Mention story/article. Maybe I can sell it, turn it into a book deal, then turn it into a movie of the week?! That would solve some $$ woes.
Still unemployed, but looking hard. I've lowered my standards to include anything where I don't have to be on my feet all day, and that has health insurance. Just about everyone (including my mother) has asked if Blixx is now looking for a full-time job. Nope. Even if he was, it's not like he'd have any better luck that I have had. It's brutal up here in Central Mass. I got a call from a trucking company looking for a dispatcher - I'll meet with them Friday. I just hope it's not sucking truck fumes...and that it pays more than $6/hour.
I've been fluctuating with moods - I'm either really impatient and can't move fast enough to get projects (be that house repairs/improvements, cleaning, shopping - whatever type of bug is up my ass on a particular day) done, or I'm a lazy slug who can barely roll over on the couch to dial the pizza man. Today was lazy day. Blixx was up and out of the house early for work, and I could have stayed up at 6am, but those of you who know me well will understand how unlikely that is. I awoke at 12:45pm with Cleo in the crook of my arm and the kitten on my lower back. I blame them.

Went to CT for the night and met some of Tempest & Purge's friends, did Christmas and birthday thing with them and Jacknife and generally hung around. Watched the Giant's nailbiter with Purge and realized that he takes his football even more seriously that I had originally imagined. It's personal. It was nice to get away, but I prefer to sleep next to Blixx rather than their smelly dog. Spent some time today searching for employment with moderate success. At least there were some listings in the newspaper - that's good news.
I hope all is well and that we all have a happy and healthy new year!
